28 pounds. Get 30 pounds though. 1 20 lb bag and two 5 lb bags. It will give you a good 2.5-3 inches.

It really depends on how big of a sandbed you want. Are you going for DSB, or just a few inches?

You can then use this sand volume calculator as needed:

I ordered a t5 HO for this tank. I heard a deeper sand bed helps with plants.

Thanks for the link!
